Romney lost today to a guy who is overseeing a horrible economy,
prosecuting unpopular wars, and who can barely string 5 words together
without a teleprompter. This was the best the Republican Party can do.
Not only are the Republicans evil, they're evil and contemptible losers,
which is far worse.

The biggest losers tonight are of course people who value peace and
freedom, but we would have also lost if Romney won. The GOP is right up
there in the loser category, however. The GOP lost seats in the Senate,
and did little to improve its position in the House. It has served up
two ridiculously bad nominees in a row, claiming "electability" and then
going down in flames.

Rand Paul certainly came out of this looking very bad as well. He
fell in line behind the party masters, banking on some advantage to be
gained through an endorsement of Romney. He ended up just looking
politically unsavvy and unprincipled. There is little to be gained
either, from playing ball with a Party that as inept as the GOP at this
point.

It's not beyond the realm of possibility that the GOP may actually
show sign of disintegration in the next several years. The GOP has
ceased to present any sort of actual alternative, and worse yet, it
can't run a winning candidate. Once that happens, the coalition that
makes up your political party will begin to fall apart.

The Ron Paul movement is a big winner here. The GOP told the
libertarians in the party to get lost, and the GOP paid for it.
Interestingly, both Iowa and Nevada, where Ron Paul supporters gained
control of the state party, both went to Obama after the Romney campaign
actively fought to disenfranchise Ron Paul supporters. I guess the GOP
got what it wanted there.

There is exactly one movement that
offers any real opposition to the status quo, and it ain't the
conservative movement, which is on life support and entering a permanent
vegetative state. Ron Paul's libertarian movement, brimming with
well-educated young people, is the only thing left standing. The GOP
operatives who predicted a big victory tonight just look pathetic.

On foreign policy, if it proves to be true that Obama is truly
reluctant to engage in the mass murder of Iranians, that may be a
victory there all by itself. Time well tell on that one.

And finally, when the economy enters a deep recession in a couple of
years (or sooner), it will be good that Obama will be in office. You all
know how it would have gone otherwise: After a couple of years of
Romney misrule, the media will decide that Romney was the candidate of
"free markets." Then, mired in a depression, our wise overlords will
declare that "we tried that free market thing, and look what happened."
